I hope you’re all gearing up for a wonderful Thanksgiving feast with family and friends, I cannot even tell you how excited I am about the stuffing and gravy I will eat today.

Gum Tree will be closed on Thanksgiving day…Enjoy your day with your family and friends, we know we will!

Then, it’s a very big weekend for the Shops of Gum Tree!

Black Friday…
All of our shops will be open at 9am serving black coffee and doughnuts, and offering 20% off anything black! Skip the mall and shop small!

Small Business Saturday…
This is the big one guys! I hope you can make it out to #shopsmall at all of your favorite small businesses today. There are so many wonderful locally owned businesses in the South Bay, show them some love.

#ShopSmall on Saturday at our shops…
Every purchase takes home a new Gum Tree canvas tote.
We’ll be serving treats and sips and holiday cheer.
Rumor has it a real live elf will show up at Gum Tree Kids, and there will be arts and crafts to keep the little one’s busy.
Gum Tree Cafe’s very own Lisa Ritchie, singer songwriter, will be playing in the shop at Gum Tree Manhattan Beach from 11-2. This girl has the voice of an angel, seriously talented.
